For all new bookings I send you a detailed styling guide.
If you are having trouble putting outfits together, pleases take advantage of my complimentary styling advice.
Simple and minimal work well for timeless images. Please stay away from wearing all black or white for your session.
Please avoid: Bold pattern or bright socks, hair bands on your wrist, large watches, keys and phones are to be remove on the day of your session.
Please no Spray tanning it’s not recommended for Maternity Photography sessions or any for that matter.
This is because your body colour and your hand colour can differ dramatically, in family sessions this also stands out against your children’s skin colour.
Extra editing on these areas will not be done if you choose to tan.

A change of clothes for the Maternity clients and kids at a beach session, accessories and wipes for your children can come in handy.

keys and phones go in my bag so I can capture you all hands free to hold each other.

The time of day you book your session is important
Day time light sessions are contrasty and have shadows, which is totally fine for a moody vibe and can be requested, the best times to have a session for nice even light and a beautiful glow is at sunrise or at sunset.
location also plays a part in your session times, so plan your location and session time with MLP to get the best outcome for your images.
